28. Do not be a witness against your neighbor without cause,For would you deceive with your lips?
29. Do not say, “I will do to him just as he has done to me;I will render to the man according to his work.”
30. I went by the field of the lazy man,And by the vineyard of the man devoid of understanding;
31. And there it was, all overgrown with thorns;Its surface was covered with nettles;Its stone wall was broken down.
32. When I saw it, I considered it well;I looked on it and received instruction:
33. A little sleep, a little slumber,A little folding of the hands to rest;
34. So shall your poverty come like a prowler,And your need like an armed man.
